It would be great to add contrast to a selected group of objects.

Can we get some better color controls? It would be great to, for example, select a bunch of objects on various layers and adjust the contrast of the selected objects as a collective color group. You could fairly easily create an array of colors based on the the selected fills and strokes. Then adjust the contrast/brightness much as you do in Photoshop.
It would be great if you could unify the current color modification panels into one master control.
For instance, the following are some things we normally expect from bitmap color adjustments that would be equally useful in vector tools: (Some are currently present - but it would be nice as one master panel to adjust sliders for each of these.)
Brightness
Contrast
Saturation
Hue
Curves/Levels
If all these were present in one panel, you could make really quick color adjustments!
Combine this with a "Color Range" selection tool, and you could select all fills, strokes or even gradients, of a similar green color... and adjust the hue, saturation, brightness and contrast in one quick step.

Also, posterization/quantization of colors to reduce color palette. That would be really helpful!

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • I have a Apple imax only about 9 months old. I need a new printer. I am looking at a Canon MX926 PIXMA. Do I have Airprint or do I need to purchase it? I am a novice with Apple and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your iMac is only 9 months old, it probably comes with OS X Mountain Lion, and it includes AirPrint, so you do not need to purchase anything else apart from the printer (which is compatible with AirPrint).
    Once you have purchased the printer, you need to follow the steps of the manufacturer. To add the printer to OS X, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670

  • How do i fix my itune?it says,this copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly please reinstall itunes.i tryed to update to ios7 and this has happend.any help would be great

    I've got myself a new iphone 5s and I tried to update itunes. Now its telling me that this copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly Please reinstall itunes.I'm not good with computers so any help would be great.I'm scared if i reinstall i will lose everythig.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • I would like to freely add clip art in Full Edit Mode in PSE 5.0

    Hello,
    I am new to Photoshop Elements. I have PSE 5.0 on a windows XP platform with service pack 3 installed. I want to be able to create flyers with PSE and would like to freely be able to add various types of clip art into my canvas. I know you can do this when you're creating slides, but I want to be able to do this in PSE full edit mode, not by creating a slide show via the organizer.
    There are tons of clip art online and they have various file types too. I am also wondering if I can use any of the file types as well. The ones that PSE has for the slide shows are .png. But online I have seen .wmf, .mpf, .jpg as well. How can I incorporate all this clip art for use in creating flyers and/or logos by just starting with a blank 8.5 x 11 canvas in full edit mode?
    Any expert help here would be greatly appreciated. I was able to do this using Word, but Word of course lacks the graphic quality and optionality of PSE greatly.
    Sincerely,
    Lee

    Thanks for your reply here Bob. I have read what you mentioned above and am not quite sure how to do it that way. What I have been doing so far is to find a clip art item somewhere, copy it to the clipboard, then bring it into PSE with the File-New-from clipboard command.
    This will bring it into it's own space and Layer as a separate file on it's own. Then I select it, copy the selection to the clipboard once again, move over to my blank canvas which only has one background layer now, and paste it onto this canvas.
    This seems to be working, but I loose the Vector graphic aspect of the clip art image because it converts it to a raster type of image now. So I have to be very careful in resizing it to not loose resolution and such.
    I noticed when I go to create a slide show in PSE, I have access to the graphics palette where you can double click a piece of clip art and it goes right onto your slide and stays as a vector image. I can get to these images while in full-edit mode, but I have to use the file-open command and navigate to the right folder and then open one up into full-edit mode as it's own layer. But then once again, I loose the vector aspect and I have to go through the process of selecting it, copying it to the clipboard and then pasting onto my blank canvas.
    I know that MS Word is no match for this product, but at least there I could easily add clip art to any flyer I am making without loosing the vector aspect. But I know that the quality is so much better here in PSE and that I just need to learn how to utilize more of its functionality and power. Hence why I am writing this post I suppose.
    Isn't there an easier way to get clip art into your blank canvas in full edit mode without having to go through all this and/or without having to create a slide show to get access to this clip art pallete? And having to loose the vector aspect of the clip art is not so wonderful either. Did I buy the wrong Adobe application - Ha!
    Should I be using Illustrator since I want to create flyers using clip art, type and effects?
    My apologies for this long post, but I would really like to be able to utilize, if at all possible, PSE 5.0's full power to create great quality flyers using all these things.
    Thanks again,
    Lee

  • Really annoying problem... if anyone could help that would be great

    everytime i click to add folder to import an cd album on my comp, it always imports double the amount of songs into itunes. i.e. if i try to add a album on my comp with 13 songs, then it will import 26 songs into itunes, and I will have a duplicate of each song. any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated....
    thanks in advance

    Hmmm, do your album folders have duplicate songs in them? It's probably a dumb question but I don't know the whole story. And also, in your album folders, are there any kind of 'System Information' files or '.cue's in them?
    As an alternative to your importing issue, I say go to the folder manually, highlight all the songs you want to import, and then drag and drop into your iTunes music library. Make sure, however, that "Music" under "Library" (on the left task pane) is highlighted or that a custom playlist of your own is highlighted. I say this because you can not add new songs to smart playlists which are, for example, the "Recently Added" or the "Recently Played" smart playlists.

    Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In particular, do you

    This doesn’t make sense to me. You cannot tell a rule
    to move messages to a smart mailbox, only to a normal
    mailbox. Each smart mailbox has its own set of
    conditions that messages must satisfy in order for
    them to appear there.
    OK. I misstated this. I have a number of Smart Mailboxes with their specific rules in which to route certain topics to specify mailboxes. I am trying to not have to create each Smart Mailbox on each computer.
    The problem is that when I am on the road I add contacts, bookmarks, keychain items, contacts into my laptop and vice versa when home. I would just like to have those Sync on both computers. Seems like it should be easy, but it hasn't been.
    I really don't think I have anything "non-standard." A few Smart Mailboxes, a couple of signatures, thats pretty much it.
    Note: For those not
    familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers
    to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any
    of the folders referred to in this post by copying

  • It would be great if we had (Music Editor) in iTunes

    it would be great if we had (Music Editor) in iTunes

    To have a wired atv wake up any PC or Mac is trivial, and Apple hopefully will add the capability in a future software update. But, to wake on wireless isn't so easy. I think a lot of us have our atv's next to our tv so wireless is the only way to go, unless we want to wire our homes. In order to do wireless WOL would require a wireless card feature that nether Macs or the atv currently have. I think apple could make it possible by adding a feature to the airport extreme or time capsule, to listen for the atv call to itunes and send the WOL packet. But this isn't going to happen, to much of a hack.
    This assumes you have your mac wired to your base station.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

    Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

    As far as I know, Apple is free to choose to offer this or that feature.
    They never said that they want to clone Word or even compete with it.
    Differences between tables in both worlds are numerous.
    In Pages (or Numbers)
    - we can't sort a single column
    - we can't sort by row
    - we can't insert or remove a single cell
    - a cell can't cross pages boundaries

    Apple Human Interface Guidelines:
    Apply the 80 Percent Solution
    During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
    If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.

  • My iPod is full of unusual bugs. Any support would be great.

    Man, I pray I’m not as stupid as I look. Got my 160gb classic yesterday and have combed through the entire “feature guide” (Apple PDF download) and still have more bugs than a hornets nest. I own several other ipods as well as other Mac equipment and have become well versed in trouble shooting issues that even Apple couldn’t initially diagnose. Be that as it may, after turning on my new “classic”, I custom set everything the way I am comfortable in using the equipment. After connecting the ipod to my computer and agreeing to be an honest John with Apple’s software, I chose to manually control my library. This was the first problem. My entire library consists of my own purchased CD’s from over the years. Every CD was converted EXACTLY the same way in iTunes to MP3 format @192kb. In other words, I have NO downloaded music from the iTunes store - or any other such method. Meanwhile, I get a message that 100’s of songs cannot be copied to my iPod because they are in a format that my new iPod doesn’t understand. The reason I’m perplexed is, is that my entire library of approx. 5,000 songs were taken from my CD collection and converted in the exact same fashion. So, my question is: how can 3 or 4 arbitrary songs across dozens of CD’s not be recognized?
    Second problem, every time I shut down the power to the iPod everyone of my custom settings revert back to the factory settings – including asking me which language I prefer to use when I power it up again. Also, in my “main menu” settings, even if I un-check a feature so it shouldn’t be visible in my “main menu”, surprise – it’s there. There are actually other bugs but one that bothers me the most is, if you watch a movie in wide format, I may have two black bars (top and bottom) or two white bars that will change intermittently throughout the movie.
    Sorry for the long post. I haven’t posted in ages. I simply haven’t had any problems with any other Apple products. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Are they problems or, as I asked in the beginning my post – am I really that stupid that I can’t figure these things out on my own?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    On a personal note, I prefer the previous interface. To me simplicity is more attractive and elegant.
    I hope someone can help me before I pack this baby up to back.

    Thanks for all of the feedback.
    My issues extended beyond music and into the video section that could not be controlled under any command. I have to say I am an original 5gb first generation iPod buyer and have purchased a new one each time a new one was introduced. This is strictly my opinion, and I’m certain I’m in the minority – but I downright disliked the new interface. In essence, Apple enlarged the iPod screen with the first generation video units only to cut the screen in half making everything on the screen very crowded unless it's 12 inches from your eyes. I’m a hard core, exclusive Apple user but the new classic iPod is their first product I'm genuinely disappointed in.
    Just a note for everyone who would have loved to buy the touch iPod but couldn’t live with the reduced capacity. That iPod will be the sweetest ticket in town since the introduction of Apple’s first iPod as the capacity grows. I own a 4gb Nano that I hardwired with a line level connection in my car. In all of time I’ve owned it, I never once removed it from my car even though the climate in my area can drop to zero (inside the car) on a winter night or reach blistering temps of 130 degrees or more when parked in direct sunlight with the windows (pardon the term) closed during the summer months. Still, I haven’t had so much as a single glitch from this baby. The reason is superior durability! With solid state or “flash” architecture you need not worry about expansion and contraction during climate changes like you do with a mechanical hard drive. I have a few friends who killed their hard drive based iPods within a few short months by leaving them in their cars during climate changes. I’m sure it will be a while yet before we see some serious flash storage capacity – affordable at least. I don’t remember where I read or heard about the cost comparison between flash and mechanical drives. It may have actually been on Apple’s website or during S. Jobs keynote. If I remember correctly, flash is around 1,800% more than traditional drives.
    I guess I’ll save my nickels for now. But, for everyone else with a classic, dig it, love it , enjoy it for many years!! With all of that capacity, everyone should have at least 1 Grateful Dead CD on their iPod. Sorry...just a bit of a Dead Head, here.
    Thanks again for everyone’s input. Good luck!

  • HT2693 my iphone has froze up and it will not do anything, i am getting a blank black screen and it will not turn off completely or turn on.  i dk what to do.  any information would help greatly.

    My daughter was playing a game on my husbands phone and it froze on her.  The screen displayed the turnoff slide bar or cancel, he tried to hit cancel and it did nothing, so he slid the slide to turn off.  when he did that he proceeded to turn off, but never completely shut off, and now the phone will do nothing!  I have tried restoring and also hooking up to itunes.  i do not know what to do in this situation.  any help would be greatly appreciated.  i dont know if there is a way to take the back off to remove the battery.  if you could give me some information that would be great.  thank you

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the Power and Home buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    Was the battery replaced by Apple or an authorized repair facility?  If not, and any warranty existed, that warranty is now void.
